RATE PAUL RODGERS OUT OF 10

9 at least.

All Right Now is one of my favorite songs.

In his own catolouge(sp?): 9.5/10

Doing the Queen catolouge: 9.9999/10

To BPP:

Do you realize what this probably does to Paul Rodgers every time you harp on him like that. You have no respect for one of the greats of rock and roll and you are so immature that maybe you should be banned and all of your idiotic posts deleted. What if I started bashing Freddie Mercury and posted topics like

FREDDIE MERCURY = AIDS INFESTED FAG

You wouldn't respond too well. Now, I feel you need to

1.Shut up
2.Post less mindless topics
3.apologize


Oh, and get a life.

*gasp* BPP, you better do what Smitty says... he sounds serious.

He would be okay on a cruise ship or holiday camp but to call him a proffesional is ludicrous. Okay he looks like a 70's Porno star that's not his fault granted but he still looks a div.

So all in all Robbie Williams should have invited Brian and Roger to perform with him as backing singers and session musicians. That would be a great show from the UK's no 1 Entertainer.

And yet, after all this time, you're still....a c**t!

Calcium:

Wow, I am so sorry--I have indeed misspelled Freddie's name. Well, I guess that makes sense--Freddie was without a "Y" chromosome anyway.

Another thing, calcium. Why so truculent? Are you suffering from osteoporosis?

Attention seeker.

As I type this I'm listing to Freddie belt out Crazy Little Thing Called Love (Wembley 86) and lets face it Rodgers can't hold a candle to Freddie. But that is not a slight on Paul Rodgers but praise for Freddie who was the greatest live showman and singer in of the 20th Century.

I think Paul Rodgers would have made a great cameo appreance in the Blues Brothers simply because his voice has that sort of sound to it. And he does have a good stage presence about him after watching the DVD a while ago.

The same old names, saying the same old things...

But seriously:

On his own, I give him an 8.5 or 9, but with Queen, I can't just give him a number. Overall, he has done a very good job, but it's obvious that he can't nail everything like Freddie did. However, I find him to be better suited to certain songs live, like Fat Bottomed Girls and Break Free. He has also done well with The Show Must Go On and the end of BoRhap. Fantastic.

However, considering that the Queen catalogue wasn't originally created with the intent of being sung by anyone outside of Queen, I think asking this question in the context of someone like Paul Rodgers really isn't a fair one. Paul wrote songs for Paul to sing, and Queen wrote songs for Freddie (and occasionally Bri/Rog) to sing.

This post was intended for people who actually want to make this a decent discussion, not those few who mindlessly give a 1 or 0 rating because they're Freddie fundamentalists. Let's hope this becomes a good one. It has potential.

How anybody can call Paul Rodgers,who is the greatest rock vocalist of all time(freddie mercury may beat him on range,but noone could match him for shear power)a one hit wonder.
Paul Rodgers has sold in excess of 150 million records.

I was never really a Paul Rogers fan, but I confess as I left the concert in the Continental Arena, All Right Now was the song in my head as I drove down the Turnpike. I thought he was really good.

Simple answer:

There are a lot of really, really, really stupid people here.

...and everywhere else, for that matter. I've learned to deal with it.
